It is my experience that many people are able to laugh, even right after a death. When I sit with family members and hear stories of their loved ones’ lives, laughter is often part of the sharing. And then when I turn those stories into personalized ceremonies and officiate at the remembrance, memorial and funeral services, laughter is often heard there as well. Humor can Help mourners start on the path to Healing.
